Are our cricketers made of sterner stuff than some of our footballers?

Not sure what Zeuhl is alluding to (I'm guessing there is another AOG question in a similar vein elsewhere) but yes, in some instances cricketers are made of sterner stuff.
Some know that when going into bat they may well have to 'wear a few', that is taking short balls to the head, chest and arms. They see it as part and parcel, you either hit it or you wear it.
Unfortunately, footballers have a propensity to fall over when not even touched, but as the authorities are more than willing to turn a blind eye, it will continue ad nauseum.

But sometimes, they can take sledging a bit too far.
The Australian slip cordon love to get stuck into opponents, like in 1993, when they chanted 'Choo Choo', as New Zealand all-rounder Chris Cairns took to the crease. This doesn't seem too bad, but poor Cairns' sister had just been killed in a train accident.

Ah right.
Not really got an opinion on that, some deal with it, some don't.
But if I had a quid for every time I was called sheep shagger, Taffy, Druid, leek f*cker or just simply "that Welsh c****" when I was in the Army, I'd have a few bob!
I put most of it down to wearing a red hat and beret though.....

My point was that the Aussies have a good reason not to like Broad. He should have walked in the test but didn't.
----------------------------
Absolutely not! Bar the great Adam Gilchrist, when have you ever seen an Aussie walk? It's not in their DNA.
Broad is not required to give up his wicket.
It is the sole responsibility of the umpires to give him out, plain and simple.
Everyone gets good and bad calls, they even themselves out over a career.
Isn't all this holier than though rubbish from the Aussies a bit much? Trevor Chappell should have ignored his brother and bowled overarm. Ricky Ponting shouldn't have harrangued Aleem Dar the last time we were in Oz.
